Ground states of two-dimensional quasicrystals

Hamiltonians for nonperiodic tilings are considered. It is shown that the quasicrystalline tiling obtained by the cut-and-strip method from aD-dimensional cubic lattice may bs a ground state only if the tiling possesses a high orientational symmetry: the (2,D)-quasicrystal should haveD-fold symmetry ifD is even and 2D-fold symmetry ifD is odd. For interactions of a finite range the restrictions are stronger: only a (2, 5)-quasicrystal (Penrose tiling) may be a stable ground state.
